  • 'Introspectionism' and the Mythical Origins of Scientific Psychology
    Consciousness and Cognition Consciousness and Cognition 15 (2006) 634–654 www.elsevier.com/locate/concog ‘Introspectionism’ and the mythical origins of scientific psychology Alan Costall Department of Psychology, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth, Hampshire PO1 2DY, UK Received 1 May 2006 Abstract According to the majority of the textbooks, the history of modern, scientific psychology can be tidily encapsulated in the following three stages. Scientific psychology began with a commitment to the study of mind, but based on the method of introspection. Watson rejected introspectionism as both unreliable and effete, and redefined psychology, instead, as the science of behaviour. The cognitive revolution, in turn, replaced the mind as the subject of study, and rejected both behaviourism and a reliance on introspection. This paper argues that all three stages of this history are largely mythical. Introspectionism was never a dominant movement within modern psychology, and the method of introspection never went away. Furthermore, this version of psychology’s history obscures some deep conceptual problems, not least surrounding the modern conception of ‘‘behaviour,’’ that continues to make the scientific study of consciousness seem so weird. Ó 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Keywords: Introspection; Introspectionism; Behaviourism; Dualism; Watson; Wundt 1. Introduction Probably the most immediate result of the acceptance of the behaviorist’s view will be the elimination of self-observation and of the introspective reports resulting from such a method. (Watson, 1913b, p. 428). The problem of consciousness occupies an analogous position for cognitive psychology as the prob- lem of language behavior does for behaviorism, namely, an unsolved anomaly within the domain of an approach.

  • The Evolution of Human Mating: Trade-Offs and Strategic Pluralism
    BEHAVIORAL AND BRAIN SCIENCES (2000) 23, 573–644 Printed in the United States of America The evolution of human mating: Trade-offs and strategic pluralism Steven W. Gangestad Department of Psychology, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM 87131 [email protected] Jeffry A. Simpson Department of Psychology, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843 [email protected]. Abstract: During human evolutionary history, there were “trade-offs” between expending time and energy on child-rearing and mating, so both men and women evolved conditional mating strategies guided by cues signaling the circumstances. Many short-term matings might be successful for some men; others might try to find and keep a single mate, investing their effort in rearing her offspring. Recent evidence suggests that men with features signaling genetic benefits to offspring should be preferred by women as short-term mates, but there are trade-offs between a mate’s genetic fitness and his willingness to help in child-rearing. It is these circumstances and the cues that signal them that underlie the variation in short- and long-term mating strategies between and within the sexes. Keywords: conditional strategies; evolutionary psychology; fluctuating asymmetry; mating; reproductive strategies; sexual selection Research on interpersonal relationships, especially roman- attributes (e.g., physical attractiveness) tend to assume tic ones, has increased markedly in the last three decades greater importance in mating relationships than in other (see Berscheid & Reis 1998) across a variety of fields, in- types of relationships (Buss 1989; Gangestad & Buss 1993 cluding social psychology, anthropology, ethology, sociol- [see also Kenrick & Keefe: “Age Preferences in Mates Re- ogy, developmental psychology, and personology (Ber- flect Sex Differences in Human Reproductive Strategies” scheid 1994).

SURPRENANT and IANNEATH Purdue University, WestLafayette, Indiana Thomas Verner Moore published a book called Cognitive Psychology in 1939,almost 30 years be­ fore Neisser's (1967) more familiar and far more influential work. Although it covers most of the stan­ dard topics found in current cognitive psychology textbooks, and even anticipated several current trends, Moore's text is not cited by any ofthe major histories of the "cognitive revolution" or any cur­ rent cognitive textbook. Weprovide a briefsketch of Moore's academic life and summarize several of his papers that are still cited. After describing the psychologies prevalent in 1939,we compare Moore's text with two contemporary works, Woodworth (1938) and McGeoch (1942). We conclude by com­ paring the older textwith Neisser's and by offering several reasons why the book is virtually unknown. Cognitive psychology differs from other areas of sci­ ner, 1985; Lachman, Lachman, & Butterfield, 1979) or entific psychology in that it loudly and proudly proclaims any ofthe current undergraduate cognitive textbooks cite to have arisen out ofa (largely bloodless) revolution.

  • The Case for Praxics Robert Epstein Northeastern University and Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies
    The Behavior Analyst 1984, 7, 101-1 19 No. 2 (Fall) The Case for Praxics Robert Epstein Northeastern University and Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies Since the early 1 900s a variety of names has been proposed for the scientific study ofbehavior, but none has come into general use. "Praxics," a recent entry, is defensible on several grounds. "Behaviorism," on the other hand, is the name of a school of philosophy. Though praxics has roots in behaviorism, the term "behaviorism" should not be applied to praxics. Confusion between the science and the philosophy has retarded the growth ofthe science immeasurably. Its growth has also been impeded by its association with psychology, which is still primarily the study of mind. Efforts are underway to establish praxics as an independent field. It was not a wholly TERMS satisfactory namefor afield. There have been several attempts to -B. F. Skinner (1979, p. 331), name the study of behavior in general on "the experimental analysis and the experimental analysis of behav- of behavior" ior in particular (Epstein, 1984a).
